Toggle clamp for cutting processing!
We were not able to use the normal toggle clamp for cutting.
Because it's weak to the circular movement.
The clamp of the cam mechanism cannot quantify the clamping power.
and You need big power to use it.
Even a part-time job can treat machining center if he/she uses the DUAL CLAMP.
Adding Cam structure to the existing Toggle clamp's Toggle structure,
has produced a stronger fixing force and better durability.
